Today, we'll finish talking about elastic and inelastic collisions and then do a few problems. Remember that momentum is conserved in all collisions, but energy is only conserved in elastic collisions. Also remember that in a collision between two objects, each of the objects experiences an equal impulse (the momentum equivalent to Newton's 3rd Law).
Presentation: Collisions (we'll do some sample problems found here)
Homework: Optionally review the two videos below. QUIZ on Impulse and Momentum in 1-D on Thursday, February 12th Monday, February 9th.
Optional extra practice: pages 2 and 3 in Momentum Packet. (SOLUTIONS to Cons Momentum CompuSheet & SOLUTIONS to Momentum Practice Problems p 3)
In the following video, the chart is a useful method, but if you'd rather express the conservation of momentum as an equation like we did conservation of energy, that would be acceptable and probably faster. Focus on understanding the concepts of momentum conservation here.
Below is an example of how to solve a perfectly inelastic collision the equation way, which is preferred over the chart method.
Today, we'll solidify our understanding of collision problems.
